Returning to her role as an amateur detective is the last thing library director Amy Muir wants. She´s already buried under an avalanche of responsibilities, including sharing the directorship of the local public library, parenting her holiday-obsessed five-year-old twins, and helping her choreographer husband, Richard, present The Nutcracker as part of the town´s festivities. With her frosty mother-in-law, Fiona, visiting for the holidays, Amy definitely has enough on her Christmas cookie plate. But when the chair of the festival committee is found as dead as Dickens´s proverbial doornail at the town´s ice rink, Amy is determined to uncover the real perpetrator to protect her brother-in-law, Ethan Payne, who was placed at the scene. The clock is ticking down as Sheriff Brad Tucker is equally sure that Ethan is guilty. It´s beginning to look a lot like the murderer hasn´t wrapped up his killing spree, and now, it might just be ´lights out´ on the holiday festivities - and on Amy´s life.
